Instructional Technology and Media for Learning shows specifically and realistically how technology and media enhance and support everyday teaching and learning. Written from the viewpoint of the teacher, it shows how to integrate a complete range of technology and media formats into classroom instruction using the ASSURE model for lesson planning. Ideal for educators at all levels, it helps readers to incorporate technology and media into best practice, to use them as teaching tools, and to guide students in using them as learning tools. Examples come from elementary and secondary education. The new Eleventh Edition keeps readers up to pace with the innovations in all aspects of technology, particularly those related to computers, Web 2.0, social networks, and the Internet. The updating throughout reflects the acceleration trend toward digitizing information and school use of telecommunications resources, such as the Web. It also addresses the interaction among the roles of teachers, technology, coordinators, and school media specialists, all complementary and interdependent teams within the school. The Enhanced Pearson eText features embedded video, pop-up content, and links to additional information.
